Maddison is quickly approaching her 2 month well baby checkup. So far, I can honestly say we've had no major issues. Not so much as a sniffle. So, we are counting our blessings!!
She is quite a happy baby most of the time. She is sleeping well -- from about 10:00 pm through to 5:00 am or so. Then she sleeps again from 7:00 until around 9:00 or so before waking up for the rest of the morning.
Most mornings she is content to look around the room and study things pretty intensely. She's giving big, big smiles now....mostly when we play the "beep beep" on her nose game. Though she likes other funny noises too. She absolutely loves laying in her bouncy seat and likes to smile at the activity out the window.
She also has begun to explore facial expressions, and we're really starting to see her personality shine through them. She already has the one-eyebrow raise that my family is known for....

We've also found that tummy time isn't exactly a favorite just yet. She loves to lay on a person's chest and exercise her neck and look around. She just doesn't like being flat on her tummy....though she does wait longer and longer every time before ending up like this...
Funny, b/c she started way further down on the boppy. She actually scooted her way over the top there. So, I guess it's doing some good. She's become fast friends with the dogs...or Cedric at least. Ginger normally spends a little time with her each day, but Cedric is really becoming quite the buddy. Speaking of which, everyone please keep a thought or prayer for Ginger. She got out from our fence on Aug. 19 and hasn't been seen since. Yes, we're doing everything we can, and we still have high hopes with the support of dog people we have around here. But that's not what this blog is about.....I was talking about how Cedric is Maddison's buddy already...
And since I've figured out how to get pictures to show up in the blog without them getting cropped beyond recognition, have another. :-)
As always, all pics can be seen at http://www.personal.psu.edu/iyh3/maddison/ I've changed it a bit, since we were getting so many pics. That page is now an index that will take you to the first month, the special pics and the second month. I'll probably have that index page keep that up for the foreseeable future....well, ttfn!
